About

Dr. Yong-Hwan Lee is a versatile researcher whose work spans atmospheric science, computer vision, and hardware design. His most prominent contribution lies in environmental research, where he investigated aerosol optical properties over the Korean peninsula during the KORUS-AQ field campaign. This 2021 study, which has garnered 28 citations, provided critical insights into the temporal and spatial variations of air pollution, supporting efforts to understand regional climate and air quality dynamics. In computer vision, Dr. Lee developed a robust hand gesture recognition system using combined moment invariants in hand shape, a method that segments hand regions via skin color detection for intuitive human-computer interaction. His work in hardware engineering explores the impact of 3D stacking and technology scaling on stereo matching processors, addressing power and area constraints for real-time embedded systems like autonomous vehicles. By integrating through-silicon via (TSV) technology, his research aims to enhance the efficiency of depth-sensing hardware. With a multidisciplinary approach that bridges environmental monitoring, gesture-based interfaces, and low-power processor design, Dr. Lee’s contributions demonstrate a commitment to solving practical challenges across diverse technological domains.
